The Patek Philippe Gondolo collection was named after the Brazilian retailer Gondolo & Labouriau who retailed watches for Patek Philippe between 1902 and 1930; the collection was inspired by the Art Deco style movement. When Patek Philippe re-introduced the Gondolo watch collection for both men and women in 1993, it awakened the streamlined elegance of Art Deco styling with cushion-shaped/rectangular-shaped watches.

This cushion shaped Gondolo Annual Calendar reference 5135G is set in a solid 38mm 18ct white gold case with a smooth polished bezel. The dial inner is silvered and has a concentric circular pattern, whilst the outer part is a sunburst finish. It has white gold applied arrowhead hour markers and 9/3 numerals and matching dauphine hands. Between the 10 and 2 markers are the three apertures displaying the day/month and date (edged in white gold) and in the sub-dial at 6 o’clock you can see the 24-hour indicator and moonphase complication. All powered by the Patek calibre 324 S QA LU 24H, which features a 21k gold rotor and is visible through an exhibition caseback. It comes fitted on a brown alligator Patek strap and has a white gold pin buckle.

Originally purchased in November 2005 and in mint condition, this Gondolo comes with its original inner and outer boxes, Patek pusher tool, leather wallet, instruction booklet, international warranty certificate and extract from the archives.
